Nicollet Diner and Glam Doll Donuts Coming to Eat Street

WHITTIER — For all those who mourned the loss of the Donut Cooperative, fear not: specialty donuts are coming back to Minneapolis at Glam Doll Donuts, which plans to open on February 1 at 2605 Nicollet Ave, next to the Black Forest Inn, according to the Southwest Journal. Like a recent episode of the Simpsons come to life, owners Teresa Fox and Arwyn Birch said that the store's concept was inspired by their trips to Seattle and Portland. Glam Doll Donuts will only be open on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at first, but it will serve Intelligentsia coffee and more than 20 different kinds of donuts until 2 a.m. or possibly even later.

LORING PARK — The Nicollet Diner plans to open this spring at 1428 Nicollet Ave. S, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The menu is already up on the restaurant website, featuring lots of diner classics as well as a few custom-neighborhood items like the Hangover Breakfast, the Loring Omelette, and the Nicollet Skillet.
